[Aavso-photometry] GJ 436 Campaign Web Page

[Robin Leadbeater]

If  the purpose of the exercise is to determine the timing of the transits 
to the highest precision, what  advantage does multiple measurements at 
different wavelengths offer?

Concerning scintillation, I assume there must be some  break point dependent 
on read out time and read noise that makes it more advantageous to filter to 
increase exposure time rather than summing multiple short exposures post 
event. Can anyone point me to an example of this calculation?

Thanks
Robin
